Lovely stay close to Santa Maria Novella train station, Duomo Cathedral, Gallery A academia w David, and Central Market.

We enjoyed our stay here. The hotel is currently undergoing renovations. We could hear some construction noise at the reception desk, but once we got to our room, it was quiet and far from the remodeling. Our room was very comfortable, with cold A/C and a large bathroom. The hotel is in a great location just outside the city center and a very short walk to the Santa Maria Cathedral.

Liked: Cleanliness
Cute and small hotel about a 15 minute walk to town center. Breakfast was good. Currently under renovation and somewhat dusty from same. Renovation supplies in common areas. Completed renovation in poor quality as the shower doors came off the track and fell on me coming out of the shower. Electric outlet in bathroom not working. Refrigerator not cooling. I think we could have done better for the money. On the upside, the sale market was around the corner where we picked up some nice leather items

Location was perfect - easy 8min walk to/from train station and walkable to all sightseeing spots. Breakfast was great; staff was super friendly and helpful. Good wifi, near market and food, always felt safe. Its quite loud at night but the location itself was well worth it. Would stay again.

Great Spot for a Quick Stay

Smaller room than expected, but we had access to the downstairs lounge during the day to help cool off in the heat wave. Staff was friendly and breakfast was delectable. Great value and location to train station.
